Chapter 1997: Chapter 1942–1943: Sudden Change, Divine Ability of Time (2)
“Suppress!”
Pang Hong’s long hair fluttered, the Golden Core within his body spun rapidly, mana surged tumultuously straight to the Ninth Heaven, and the thundering lightning roared as if ancient thunder descended to the earth, divine might imposing, countless Thunder Dragons roared out from his fingertips in an instant.
Thunderbolt Finger, suppress the world.
This divine power belonged to Pang Hong himself, and among countless powerful beings in this world, it was also one of the most top-tier divine powers.
As a disciple of Pei Xuanjing, Pang Hong didn’t lack any cultivation skills of divine power. He combined the countless divine abilities of the Shenxiao Sect and created this divine power, which is the pinnacle of his Thunder Path, and also the manifestation of his Thunder God’s Authority.
Zhu Jiuyin was indifferent to this, the galactic river surged, as if everything slowed down, leaving traces of time, the projection of years, continually eroding the howling and spiraling Thunder Dragons.
For other strong beings, the erupting divine power of this Thunderbolt Finger is tremendously terrifying, for the power of thunder has always been known for its swift ferocity, the chain reaction caused by the countless roaring Thunder Dragons would make even top-tier True Immortal Sixth Layer cultivators retreat a bit, even strong beings who have forged a Divine Demon Body with the Path of Human Immortal would suffer somewhat.
But the Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch was not restrained by it. Having returned as an ancient Innate God and Demon, he had long restored his Ancestor Witch body to be as no less than before, coupled with the power of time to continuously wear down the power of these Thunder Dragons, spreading them out, not enough to bring harm to him.
However, Pang Hong was not surprised to see this move blocked, after all, if a powerful being like Zhu Jiuyin, who might have even stepped into the Taoist Monarch level, could be easily defeated by him, that would be too laughable.
A thirty-six-section Thunder God Whip, surrounded entirely by thunder, appeared in Pang Hong’s hand. This was the manifestation of his Thunder God’s Authority and also the Thunder God’s Divine Tao Magical Weapon, one of the top-tier divine weapon treasures for manipulating thunder in the world.
Stepping in the Void, every step landed on specific points, as the Thunder God Whip in his hand swung, the heavens echoed, the thunder gathering in a sea-like manifestation between heaven and earth.
An ancient Thunder Dragon revealed and emerged in the Thunder Sea, with savage dragon heads, sharp claws, thick dragon tails constantly striking the Thunder Sea, roiling turbulently with a terrifying aura pressing down, countless strong beings were shocked and terrified.
Thunder is undoubtedly the most terrifying power for many cultivators, often representing Heavenly Punishment.
On the path to immortality, cultivators must continually undergo the baptism of thunder, even though thunder also has creation and rebirth beyond destruction, for many cultivators, it is also an extremely painful memory.
Seeing the manifestation of this Thunder Sea at this moment, countless strong beings were both shocked and heart-thumped, especially those on the verge of undergoing tribulation but suppressed for various reasons had not started it, felt they couldn’t suppress anymore.
But fortunately, Pang Hong at this moment did not continue to expand the Thunder Sea. With the Thunder God Whip in his hands pointing horizontally, he smashed down towards Zhu Jiuyin, countless Thunder Dragons whirled around, a sky full of Thunder Sea tipped over.
“Timeless!” Zhu Jiuyin uttered in a low tone, as his whole body seemed to virtualize, blending into the Void.
“Spatial Divine Power!”
Strong beings exclaimed in low voices, puzzled. Wasn’t Zhu Jiuyin supposed to master the Time Laws, how could he use the Witch God Sect Leader’s Spatial Divine Power.
Space Laws and Time Laws are extremely powerful and against the heavens’ existence, but if someone truly mastered the Time-Space Laws, this kind of taboo, it would truly be courting death.
Zhu Jiuyin originally mastered the Time Dao, if he also mastered the Space Dao, wanting to touch the time-space taboos, surely all Taoist Monarchs would not tolerate him!
Some strong beings believed that Zhu Jiuyin, or perhaps the Witch God Sect wouldn’t be so unwise, even if they truly tried to touch the taboo, they wouldn’t manifest it so directly.
“Not Spatial Divine Power, it’s Time Divine Power, borrowing the long river of time, merging with heaven and earth. At this moment Zhu Jiuyin’s figure virtualizes because the other party is no longer in the present time, either in the past or in the future.” A strong being explained.
Timeless, it’s an extraordinary manifestation of the Time Dao, meaning that thousands of years multiply on the self, leaving no trace.
Time is fair to all beings; the moment beings are born, time begins to linger on them, every moment they exist carries traces of time.
These traces cannot be altered or erased, are the power of time, also one of the components of life, even those immortally true immortals, Taoist Monarchs, with youthful faces, eternally youthful states, cannot eliminate the traces of time, it is unavoidable.
And this Timelessness is the rebellious aspect of a Time Laws master, they borrow acceleration or delay to make the traces of time disappear, temporarily leaving the current time, thus avoiding attack.
Even if Zhu Jiuyin had not managed to perfect this divine power, it invisibly weakened Pang Hong’s attack by several times, truly reducing the hits to one-tenth.
Time Laws and Space Laws are called the most rebellious two laws under the Law of Power because of this.
Really, if calculated by pure attack power, after the Law of Power, whether it’s thunder, destruction, or many other laws’ attack powers are far stronger than these two.
But because the Time Laws and Space Laws have endless wondrous uses, they thus occupy high positions.
After all, for cultivators, a life-and-death battle requires not only unmatched attack but also means of protection; if purely pursuing killing without seeking self-preservation, all techniques and divine powers would be mutually destructive, even those walking the Extreme Dao wouldn’t do so.
Countless strong beings watched the engagement between these two powerful beings at present, even more intently than the number watching the Taoist Monarchs outside the Chaos Void.
The confrontation between Taoist Monarchs is indeed rare, highly sought after for those top True Immortals wishing to truly glimpse Taoist Monarch power.
But the levels of Taoist Monarch are too high, even for those standing at the extreme of True Immortal Sixth Layer touching the Taoist Monarch threshold, they might not guarantee understanding all aspects.
Especially now, among the four engaged, whether it’s the Great Emperor Ziwei and Fire Virtue Star Lord, or Jade Emperor and Witch God Sect Leader, none of these four Taoist Monarchs are ordinary. Initially, some True Immortals understood, but once truly entering the fray, even some newly ascended Tao Lords could not truly capture their actions.
By comparison, the engagement between Pang Hong and Zhu Jiuyin at present allows some True Immortals to be entranced, lost within the battle, constantly simulating if they were in either’s place, how to respond to these divine powers and skills.
For many True Immortal Sixth Layer strong beings, they know even upon ascending to Tao Lords, facing those few Taoist Monarchs in the Chaos Void, resistance against them would be hard, unable to counter them.
Though the truth is harsh, realistically even if they ascend as Tao Lords, the true opponent would not be those powerful Taoist Monarchs, even if they engage, it would be through joint assault.
Conversely, for them, their real opponents are strong beings like Pang Hong and Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch, whether at the True Immortal level or post Tao Lord ascension.
So taking this moment, extensively exploring their opponent’s strength, understanding opponent’s habits, philosophy, is crucial, potentially winning with it in future encounters.
Some True Immortal Fifth Layer, just into the Sixth Layer strong beings, are also continuously imitating and learning, thereby accumulating for themselves.
